My regrets that I will be unable to attend on the 27th due to scheduled travel. We hope you have a wonderful gathering and the haggis is toasted and enjoyed by all.

Good cheer and fair winds

Looking forward to this year's Occasion. Had a great time last year in Conyers.

Sorry I missed being able to attend. :cry: Ended up in the hospital a day or so before so that kept me away. I had enjoyed the Robert Burns Dinner and was sorry to miss this XMarks gathering. Next...

Again I was very pleased and enjoyed the evening, the Pipes, good company and fun conversations all around the room. A few more photos and we look forward to the sharing of your pictures as well.

I congratulate all who were involved in setting up the Burns Night Supper. It was a grand affair and the Celtic Tavern did a superb service for us as I gather they have done for years now.

As a...

I'll be attending and would be pleased to offer the Toast to the Lassies if the more experienced Rabble will coach me somewhat before Saturday. As I'd mentioned it has been many years and far away...

After far too many years of watching from afar when deployed I plan to attend this year. Alot of years since my last Burn's Night in the UK so many to meet and much to relearn about the customs....

I'm onboard for a kilted gathering most any time. Based just East of Stone Mountain and no pesky full time job to distract me anymore.

Fair winds,

Sounds like a plan Gentlemen,

I'll look forward to details as this firms up. Finally retired and in charge of my own schedule and loving every minute of it.

Fair winds and a Merry Christmas to...

Sounds good Gentlemen,

Open to ideas on when and where!

Capt Bruce

It truly looks like a good day was had by all. :D Sorry we were unable to come down and join in. :(

All the best to All The Best.

Capt Bruce

Would love to join in but we'll be holding down a beach towel in Jamaica.
Enjoy the evening and the Tasting All!

Fair winds,

As tempting as that might be Jim I'm afraid all this planning for Saturday's merriment has been brought to a crashing halt at my end.

Please raise a single malt for me Saturday, I can't be there...

Quick update, I'll have to attend stag as the better half will be out of town afterall.

Capt Bruce

Jim,

Count us in for the fine evening among the kilted. Schedule cleared and in town for that weekend. Looking forward to meeting more of the clans.

Fair winds,

Capt Bruce :)

and chastised, and flogged, and berated, and castigated and . . .

If only I could blame it on a Senior Moment . . . but regardless we'll be there on the 16th assuming no more disasters in our...

Thanks for the notice. We'll plan to be there 1/17/10 and to have to chance to meet more of the Rabble in person. Health and Wealth to All.

Bruce :toast:

Turpin,
Sounds like a grand evening. If the creek(s) don't rise (again) I'll be there.
Bruce

Welcome to X Marks and congratulations on a very fine Kit. Accurate right down to the Swinging Six tassels on your Sporran.

Evening Turpin and S.E.K.S. Rabble,

Can't make it the 7th due to travel to Louisianna, but the Old Blind Dog sounds interesting. Maybe this time I'll bring a dirk that illustrates what happens...

A snake slithers into a bar and the bartender says, "I'm sorry but I can't serve you."
"Why not?" asks the snake.
The bartender says, "Because you obviously can't hold your liquor."

Looking forward to the gathering of the Clans this evening and meeting everyone. Looks like the weather might even cooperate.
Fair winds,
Bruce

The 22nd at James Joyce sounds good to me and 7 PM should work well. Looking forward to meeting the crew.
Fair winds,

Bruce :)

Atlanta area SEKS,

Anything being planned? I'm back from disaster duty sooner than expected and just wanted to know if anything is brewing. Thanks

Bruce
